UPDATED
Occupy Madison
UPDATE: the police have said they will not harass us at noon, specifically because we have the paperwork which suggests we will be going through the process. The City could call an emergency meeting to consider the application on Wednesday if that's what we choose to do.
But we will be having a GA with all who are available at 11:30. That's the news we have as of 30 seconds ago hanging up the pho...ne.
We're requesting that the GA discuss the Statement on Permits, which we should probably again discuss at our regular GA at 5:30 and formally determine whether it reflects the sentiments of the whole Occupation community or not. Any citations that are issued as a result of not seeking a permit for our use of the space could be challenged, if desired.See More
